Yamamoto Tsunetomo

“Lord Naoshige said, " The Way of the Samurai is in desperateness. Ten men or more cannot kill a man. Common sense will not accomplish great things. Simply become insane and desperate.
"In the Way of the Samurai, if one uses discrimination, he will fall behind. One needs neither loyalty nor devotion, but simply to become desperate in the Way. Loyalty and devotion are themselves within desperation.”

Yamamoto Tsunetomo, Hagakure: The Book of the Samurai
